Pious Drivel! The pompous, smarmy, lamely-conventional, sanctimonious, fatuous--that which prompts my Uncle Robert to say, "Save it for Sunday, preacher."
As usual, we, the impious, have the Bible on our side. Amos 5: 21-24 comes to mind, as well as the entire book of Job. Jesus painted a very colorful picture of the "hypocrites" prancing around in their finery in the marketplaces and putting on a pious show (Mt 6:1-6). One could go on.
So, in that spirit, a new and proud category: Pious Drivel! It only has one post in it so far, but the title prompted the idea--pious drivel must be exposed! Seriously! sort of.
